two hot tips...

2. Police are ticketing Pedestrian and Bicyclists at 14th and P and 14th and U Streets

cars are free to do as they pleaseinteresting that the police do not see that the peds and the cyclists are modifying the law in the same way that cars arethe speed limit is 25MPH... why not start there!then go to people failing to make compete stops at the stop line at their carthen try ticketing for talking on the cell phone while drivingthere is moreyes... there is morethe police could ticket cars for passing pedestrians and cyclists too fast and too closeif a car is moving above the speed limit when they pass a pedestrian or a cyclist... that should be considered reckless drivingthat would be a SAFE STREET CAMPAIGN!

for all the car traffic violations happening right in front of their faces, and for all the cars that are just not paying attention (yes, that is reckless!) i would be so upset if i got pulled over for not making a complete stop...

control the car chaosthen start to think about the pedestrians and cyclists

ticketing the bikers and the walkers is like telling women they should not work out alone because they could be attacked

stop the attackerdon't try to lessen the number of attacks by asking the victims to avoid the attackers

control the car chaosthat will make safer streets

yes pedestrians and cyclists need to be responsible for their actionsbut until a pedestrian is safe to cross in the crosswalk when it says walkthey should be free to cross where and when they are most safe

the cyclist...they get no respect and are unsafe when following the lawit is no different when they break it

the bike moving through is to the advantage of allcars hate having the bikes line up in front of them

the road was well litday time litI had so many lights blinking and flashing that I knew how to say christmas tree in many languages as everyone I passed pointed and said christmas tree in their native tongue

the women hit me square in the back tireI was lucky that i had a good grip on the barsit sent me flying forwardthere was no damage

she had a streak of lipstick on her flat cheekfrozen in position she looked dumbly at me as I went to her windowshe rolled the window down and said she was sorryrather than cuss her outI asked that she be more careful

the last time i was stopped by city police (for genuinely not seeing a red light) i asked if they were going after the numerous taxis and buses i see jumping red lights everyday, he claimed they were and proceeded to tell me how he'd attempted to take a dozy pedestrian to court but the case was thrown out...

i dunno if this was just said to appease me, but he seemed a stand up kind of guy (once i'd calmed down) and even warned me they were going to be staking out the same lights all week.

although i have to say, it took him 300 metres to catch me, so i'd love to know how they stop motor vehicles...
